Thanks for the idea Susanne. I am already plotting on what to replace Deep Truth with in that quad!

If everything works fine my counter will get Starflash tomorrow. One more time the rest of the country already has the collection out. I don't know what's up, they forget us here all the time now...

But I am not too loud, let's wait what will happen tomorrow...

I'm not a very happy Rbella. I bought SD,BB,GC and Gesso b/c Gesso who didn't have Gesso? haha. Also bought Feline. I wish you would all just leave me alone already. I wasn't going to buy from this line. Thanks a lot. I'm off to caress the now 5lb baby that is still in my stomach.

Susanne - Talent Pool, Lotusland & Top Hat will look lovely on you! I especially liked Lotusland. Its such a soft pretty color. I hope they have everything available for you tomorrow.

Top Hat seems to be one of those chameleon type shadows as it seems to slightly change colors on different skin types. On me, it turned a dark blue with just a slight purple cast. I really like that color though.

For what it's worth, it is in my opinion that the three you chose really are must haves. And since they blend so easily, actually a time saver for us mom's, and you know what they say, time is money! So in the end, it actually works out even... alright, I tried!

You are so sweet to me, I lurves you so much!!! Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I just wish I could friggin' eat something. My fat a** misses food!!! Perhaps I got stressed b/c I hadn't purchased anything from this collection. Maybe this will help?

Except, I'm not a mom. But, thanks for the props on my choices, that does make me feel better. My 5lb baby is some weird thing growing or dead in my stomach (just stress, actually). I probably confused you.

 

[Shypo]

I'm not a huge fan of Blackground p/p, but I have to say I've found a new look that's amazing.....Blackground on lid, darker in outer > with Sunset B. on top of that, with Talent Pool in the crease. Grand Entrance to blend/highlight/inner <. Feline to line. I LOVE the look. Sunset B. over Blackground is so cool! A night look for me, but one I'll continue to hone!

My bad. Actually, it was your old avatar that made me think that.

At any rate, I still stand by those as being my top 3 picks, with Mink & Sable right behind them.

 

[rbella]

Ahhhh! I forgot about my avatar. That was my sweet little nephew. He likes to throw hissyfits, but I love him anyway!!! You are too kind. Thank you for trying to make me feel betta. Who's a sweetpea???????? You are!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait, should I get Mink & Sable?

Which one did you buy? Ah, Smoke & Diamonds, Bold & Balzen, Glamour Check ... Gesso who??

LOL - we all speak "MAC" here. No one outside our "community" would understand us.

I will go back to work tomorrow just like: "I need my Pleasantry, my Parrot, my Prrr and my 187 today and the day will be alright!"

LOL! Erm, sorry! No, you don't need it unless you don't have Sumptuous Olive and are not a lover of all things olive green. (Though to be perfectly honest, I did have SO, but like this one more

I'm NW15, brunette, green eyes, and I have practically built a shrine to "Smoke & Diamonds."

It depends on your personal taste, of course; if you like greys/taupes, I would NOT miss "Smoke & Diamonds"!

 

[gigglegirl]

lol stv/nora i did the same too. mink & sable was a slight tad diff from SO so I bought it. though SO didn't impress me. But I also have greensmoke b/c i wanted something to deepen it. still have to play.

now i wish i hadn't of sold my greenstroke paintpot.

BUT guys, seriously, with the awesomeness that is the Smoke and Diamonds why the heck doesn't mac come out with a grey paintpot? I just find it much easier to use on close to the colour you want on top....and there was that stray grey from novel twist but that was before painterly so i didn't get any paintpots til then. *sigh*

MAC if YOU read these forums.......I want a grey shimmery paintpot. and new shimmery fluidlines. Please and thank you with a cherry on top! (on that note, Cult of Cherry would have been a GREAT collection to reintroduce some fluidlines....like a rich cherry shimmery one). I'm just sayin'......

I am one of the ones foaming at the mouth about "Smoke & Diamonds," but I can see how someone with different tastes and/or coloring might think, "Taupe gray? Yawn ..."
I think we die-hard "taupe heads" are going to be the ones who appreciate "Smoke & Diamonds" the most, because we simply cannot get enough taupes!

I, for example, own the following: MAC Satin Taupe, Stila Diamond Lil, Avon Slate, MAC Coco pigment, MAC Sunnydaze pigment, MAC Clue, MAC French Grey, Stila Cloud, MAC Subtle pigment and MAC Mauvement pigment.

I have backups of Sunnydaze, Subtle, Clue, French Grey and Mauvement.
I would not part with any of them.

Hi Everyone! I've been looking around here for a month and finally got around to posting. I was wondering if anyone bought Star by Night? Is it a must have? I already have Sea and Sky as well as Freshwater, and also a couple from the Cool Heat collection and the Kat von D pallet. I'm over my head with blues! Is the bledability alot smoother than the other ones? I'm headed to my counter today to pick up B & B and maybe a KP.

Oh and I was in Vegas this weekend and wore Grand Entrance on the onner corner, Smoke and Diamonds on the rest of the lid, with Glamour check on the crease and Vanilla to highlight. I also wore it with the #34 lashes, It was very glam! I LOVED it!

They should sell these two in a separate display because they obviously go together. It is a no-brainer. And then can do Lotusland and Smoke & Diamonds. I would do Sunset B but that texture at the store was horrible, I couldn't believe they had it out there.

YES! A medium smokey shimmery grey paintpot

The new Glamour mag. shows this really gorgeous black/grey smokey eye on pg. 298 & I'll be darned...unless I'm blind, they did not say what brand or color they used...how stupid is that! I looked through the whole darn magazine/credits - nothin

Thank goodness I'm not the only one that got S&D when I already had Stila Diamond Lil.

Now I need to get B&B. Also bought GC (love!) & Go ('cause I don't own Tempting).
